Beattock

As has been reported previously, there are two more closed stations (one a private halt) between Elvanfoot and Beattock.

Please bear in mind that this quiz is not a degree level knowledge test on the minutae of closed stations but that of a general knowledge based quiz that will be enjoyable to all contestants.

It may well be an opportune time to show the above statement that is part of the preamble to the rules of this quiz on the very first posting on the thread.

Please refer to the previous comment that I had made when the posting of Beattock was made stating that there were still two closed stations between Elvanfoot (which I posted) and Beattock

 

[DerekC]

Beattock

The simplest way seems to be for me to edit my (incorrect) original posting of Beattock. Then Ash Bridge's posting of Elvanfoot fits - we just need Wamphray again and we will be back on track! (I hope)

What a pity - missed our trip over the Solway Viaduct again - and it would be good 25 miles shorter!

Sorry to say but the Solway Junction Railway is not shown on the preamble to this particular journey.

I know - but it was worth a try!

Port Carlisle Junction withdrawn - it seems that the platforms were just north of the junction on the Waverley Route, not on the C&S.
